Okay grindcore, alternating between punkier HC-influenced material and relentless blasting, with a smattering of dirgier/sludgier parts. Nothing particularly bad but 34 minutes of this stuff was fairly underwhelming, and admittedly, as someone not super into exploring all the niches of grind, I can't see picking this over Terrorizer or Assück. The intros/interludes here tend to be more electic than your typical audio sample intro (although there is indeed a short clip of Bill Clinton), but since these are generally not directly integrated into the music, they don't really come off as an overly experimental band. I found track 6 slightly more notable than the rest because towards the end it segues into a VERY black metal sounding riff. There are also two covers here, "Fallout" by Nausea (NY) and "Bad Science" by Jesus Chrust (the NY crust band the Disassociate singer was in, not the Charlie Infection band who released EPs on Fudgeworthy Rec.). These covers feel more inspired and energetic than the original material here. Still, purely as a dollar bin grind CD, I'm satisfied with what I got.
